My age: close 52, and since my childhood I love all the VW family and this awesome movie: 2001 space odyssey, that is why I love your video. Double love!!
Nice :) How do you hold/lock it in position? Any worries about front-to-back movement/load? Lastly, I feel like there should be at least one attachment point from the top of the vehicle to combat pull out forces on your hoop from the bottom attachment points...
amazing fabing. i see no track guides for it to stay on the rollers without coming off, its very well balanced. i still dont see why it doesnt fall of the track whats keeping it on?
Take note the circles are on the wheels the wheels are welded on a channel , the circle run though the channel that keeps it all in line for the wheels .............
Well that depend on what type of car your building ,, on the VW they look about 7 to 8 ft tall just guessing at that ...... you make it as big as you want as long as it don't touch the car and you have enough room to work around it ....
Amazing! I need this! I'm about to take my bus entirely apart, and fix it up. (She stopped running a couple of months ago. Can't figure out the issue, so it's time to fully restore it.)
You know when you finish the Funky Truck that Rotisserie is just going to be in the way. If you need a place to store it I can probably find some room in my shop. :) Rotisserie Envy!!!
There's a company in Lincoln, Nebraska called AutoKraft that manufactures and markets these. Only theirs comes with brakes on the rollers so you can stop the vehicle at any position to work on it. They are very reasonably priced!! I don't work there, but they are restoring a car for me!!
That's not a vw bus,...it's a Pan Am shuttle lining up with the space station! I'm going to have to dig out my dvd and watch that again,...just for that scene! :)
I'm thinking about building one for a Dodge Fargo Panel Truck, but I'm worried about the weight and like you said.. the moment it needs to turn or roll over. If it rolls over and swings out of control, that would be a pain in the but. I've also got another idea about having it geared with an electric motor, but not sure if that's going to cost too much.
Hello Glideking, I would like to build a rotisserie like the one you made , would it be possible to tell me the diameter you had the steel rolled ? I live in England are are about to restore my 1966 camper. She is in a very poor state and requires a full chassis change. If I can make a rotisserie like yours and add some front to back support beams I think it will make restoration possible. Thanks Andy.
Hi! My name is Ronaldo and I'm from Brazil. Congratulations on the video. I would like to make a rotisserie like yours. Could you give me some tips? What is the thickness and diameter of the arc metalom?
Why not make the rotisserie possible to dismantle? Like making the support legs bolt on and making the main hoop in 2 halves ? I think that would make it easier to both take off after the car is finished and storing it. :)
I found you on the samba forum.... awesome thread! I just got on second page now :) good job! and I am deaf ... it would be nice if you turn on subtitles so I will know what you say in the videos, thanks
For those of you that have purchased a VW bus or truck with the round lenses, here is something you should be aware of; do not over tighten the tail light mounting screws as the original lenses are glass and they will crack. Also these lenses were rare in 1989 when I owned a 1960 crewcab, to thwart theft put a second nut on the screw
+Andrew Pearce The whole story is documented here www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/view... Mount your bus high as you can for a decent balance. People have used smaller rings or mounted bus lower but they are bottom heavy and harder to rotate. The front ring must be mounted forward or rearward to clear the doors. You must be able to r&r the doors for restoration. There is a rotisserie thread on TheSamba.com that is full of opinions!
glideking thanks a lot!! I´ve read the hole thread and now I appreciate your work more and more, VW couldn´t have doe it better! If I ever will be in SF I would like to see yuor SC in original. Greetings from Germany, Dirk
What a masterpiece! (And thanks for the couple of Strauss's who accompanied the turning!) With your skills you will have this old bus in fine shape!
Necessity is the mother of invention, and this is a classic example. Very well done!
My age: close 52, and since my childhood I love all the VW family and this awesome movie: 2001 space odyssey, that is why I love your video. Double love!!
Love the Strauss and the 2001: A Space Odyssey reference. Great filmmaking. Oh, and lovely work on the rotisserie:)
excelent job and a very cool idea. this really is a video that many of us wish it was a complete series on tv. congrats.
Hi Glideking !!! Just wanted to say how great your tool is. It works perfectly !!!
Very useful, I've seen this done with a tank, makes welding so much easier!
Man I really miss watching new vw restore videos from you :' (
He's a badass. Love the video of him digging that out of the ground.
Gotta love that bandsaw. Helluva time-saver.
A terrific idea brought to fruition aND the music back suspense was wonderful!!! Thank you for you swnse of humor!!
As soon as I learn to weld/get materials/etcetera I want to make one for my '70 bug body!
If there was any mice hidding I think that was a hint to leave ahahaha looking forward to this build
I got a double cab im doing love the tinker bell music and killer Rollie you made
That
Is the best Rotisserie I have ever seen yet. I will definitely make one like that.
I think i have to admire what youre doing , its heroic to me.
Just laughed out loud here at work. OOPS! PERFECT music! Good work.
2001 Space Odyssey sound track is so relevant, and funny. LOL
+Tim Wall Dave I can't let you in through the pod doors. Dave ? Daisy, Daisy give me youuuur annswerr toooo.....

you are so good and funny you should be on the history channel i would not miss a show
amazing fabing. i see no track guides for it to stay on the rollers without coming off, its very well balanced. i still dont see why
it doesnt fall of the track whats keeping it on?
Take note the circles are on the wheels the wheels are welded on a channel , the circle run though the channel that keeps it all in line for the wheels .............
David R well it's freaking awesome, how tall are they?
Well that depend on what type of car your building ,, on the VW they look about 7 to 8 ft tall just guessing at that ...... you make it as big as you want as long as it don't touch the car and you have enough room to work around it ....
Love the work your doing
What is the outside diameter of the hoops???
Amazing! I need this! I'm about to take my bus entirely apart, and fix it up. (She stopped running a couple of months ago. Can't figure out the issue, so it's time to fully restore it.)
Incredible idea. You make me laugh a lot with the 2001 OST.
Glad you had a laugh. I had a blast making that video.
Kurt
Amazing work man! Wow! =)
A thing of beauty!
You know when you finish the Funky Truck that Rotisserie is just going to be in the way. If you need a place to store it I can probably find some room in my shop. :) Rotisserie Envy!!!
I cannot say enough on how cool that is.What is the diameter of the circle
So beautiful like a diamond in the rough

I ask them if a VW bus will fit. They don't answer.

@4:29 ...felt like i was in a space odyssey...ship floating around. cool deal.
Hi! My name is Ronaldo and I'm from Brazil. Congratulations on the video. I would like to make a rotisserie like yours. Could you give me some tips? What is the thickness and diameter of the arc metalom?
That is a good job buiding that rotisserie, you have a good web page.
Isn't that the way it is, you end up having to build your own tools. I love the 2001 space odessy
Why not make the rotisserie possible to dismantle? Like making the support legs bolt on and making the main hoop in 2 halves ? I think that would make it easier to both take off after the car is finished and storing it. :)
Hello Mr. GlideKing, can you please share where these rotisserie plans are located at please?
Now it's much easier to open the pod bay door!
I found you on the samba forum.... awesome thread! I just got on second page now :) good job! and I am deaf ... it would be nice if you turn on subtitles so I will know what you say in the videos, thanks
pro tip: watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Coleman Gael Yea, been using flixzone} for since december myself :D
Boy, oh, boy! Soooo delightfully luxe of a brain!! Whoooaaaa!! Hats off, fella, you DID IT! Apart from the usual erotic T-1, you did the video!
Big work. Congratulations.

Thanks very much, are there any other measurements to consider for balance or things I should no, thanks for your help. Andy.

Where or how did you send the hoops?

Most large cites have fabrication shops with a roller to bend tubing. Cost was $200 back then.
@@glideking great thanks for responding. I will have to do some calling around
VERY cool

Hey! Nice video! Does this has a purpose or its just for fun?
Your kidding right? Do your realize the comfort it gives you while working on it and painting?

Ordered from local fab shop. $200
